METHOD OF DEPROTECTION

摘要

The invention provides a method for the synthesis of an 18F-labelled product comprising deprotected of a protected 18F-labelled compound using a deprotection agent comprising a weak acid and wherein neutralisation and buffering of the deprotected product are carried out by the addition of a neutralisation agent. The deprotected product is buffered in a pH range suitable for subsequent autoclaving and formulation into an injectable radiopharmaceutical.
